Updated to latest build, took some screenshots of the full build number and added more info.
First improvement I`ve noticed so far is browsing of folders with hundreds/thousands of files in them.. much faster now. I can`t wait for this to go final.

I slipstreamed v.3244 over a SP2 disk, and it seems stable except one or two things.
setuperr.log indicates tscupgrd.exe is not properly signed and the service pack build for the file is still 2180 instead of 3244. Is this so for anyone else?
IE crashes in urlmon.dll while loading the default home page and somehow by means of changing the default home page, it goes away, even when visiting that default home page in which it crashed.
I don't have a gold disk so I have to use one with a service pack on it.

I slipstreamed sp3 into an xpsp2 source too but didn`t experience either of those things. Maybe it was a one off, your source is corrupt or just differant from mine.. not all xp sources are the same there are minor differences
redxii

The file is valid for is version 5.1.2600.0, which is from SP0 gold. The source I used was XP SP2 that came from was a CD with SP2 integrated by MS.
They had too updated this file to 5.1.2600.1106 in SP1 and there is a 5.1.2600.2180 in SP2 not only on a CD from MS but also in the network install of SP2, but in this SP3 they just left it out, so from the SP2 source it remained 5.1.2600.2180 even though 5.1.2600.0 is what it was looking for. I didn't get the error when slipstreaming SP3 into a gold disk.
What version is your tscupgrd.exe with SP3 slipstreamed? The service pack file isn't corrupt.

Yeah I can confirm the tscupgrd.exe error in setuperr.log.. I thought I had SFC enabled before which it wasn`t lol
tscupgrd.exe has been left out of SP3 causing whichever version that is in your origional source to be installed.

Integrated SP3 and after that integrate IE7 & WMP 11, both are working fine.
redxii
Nov 29 2007, 01:15 PM
I assumed IE7 and WMP 11 wouldn't install so I didn't bother, but I actually tried it and it didn't prevent me from installing and there doesn't seem to be any stability problems.
The setups are limited to SP9 for WMP 11 and SP20 for IE7, not that that XP is going beyond SP3.

Dec 4 2007, 10:36 AM
Due to measures implemented to protect the server, download managers are not supported. This means the server stays online and healthy but starves legitemate users the luxury of resuming. Because of this, I`m prepared to give out an alternate temporary link for the occasional user which supports resuming. Send me a PM if you really need resuming support.

Insttalled sp3. no problem so far with WMP 10 & IE 7 & also no difference.
The only difference i see is Mycomputer properties shows "service pack 3, v3244"
No performance improvement.

Using a PC most of the day on most days, I did notice an improvement. It wasn`t massively obvious.. like blow your socks of shit this is fast.. but then it`s not going to be because it wasn`t slow to start with.
Browsing folders whith thousands of files in (like the local backup of the share) is the most noticeable area of improvement for me, overall though the system feels more snapyer and no doubt the stability, compatibility and underlying code has been considerably improved.
All in all this isn`t a bells and whistles service pack stuffed full of new features, for that fact I am glad and can`t wait for the final release so I can run it on my production machine.

As I understand it, SP3 contains all hotfixes up to September. However, this new public RC sets the build numbers on all files to 3264, higher than the files in any hotfix to date (even ones released a few days ago):
http://support.microsoft.com/KB/945342 (this one has a build number of 3260)
Is it the case that new hotfixes like the one above coming out now are all from SP3 and these apparently new issues are already fixed in it? If not, how do you install a recent hotfix over your SP3 install?

Does someone know if MS already has released a comprehensive list of updates included in Windows XP SP3? They released one for Vista SP1 lately....
xable
Dec 21 2007, 08:48 PM
Palindromedary, New hotfix`s coming out now are for SP2, if they don`t fix the issue in SP3 then I image a new fix for the issue will be made that is for SP3.
Twisted, As it`s gone vista sp1 has evolved and xp sp2 evolution has followed close behind. So it`s a safe bet that an xp list will be available shortly.

I tried replicating the tooltip bug in a virtual machine. I couldn't and then tried my laptop, and still couldn't. Usually just right-clicking in the start menu messes it up. I won't discount it as fixed yet, it is likely they still don't give a hoot and want to you spend money on an upgrade to Vista which seems to have it fixed, or deal with it.

Hi redxii,

I really hate this bug. I hope the fix remain in the final build.
I'm waiting for the Portuguese Brazilian version.
